Singapore Question

[Sharfy]

Anyone from TPF that has already visited singapore? I will be having my month long vacation end of this month to Philippines and i have a 10 hours stop-over at Singapore. (They said i can go out and make some quick tour for that short stop-over). Any suggestion of good places there that can maximize my short period stay

I haven't been there for a couple of years, but the Botanical Gardens are nice, and even just wandering around downtown can be very interesting. Be careful, as it can take a LONG time to get from 'A' to 'B' there.

their subway (MRT) is excellent. You can go anywhere easy. Also Changi International Airport is fantastic place to be in. It is full of stores, entertainment and restaurant. I am sure you can entertain your self for a few hours even only around the airport.

I second Schwetty's mention that the airport itself is worth looking at - so you could do a quick trip towards the centre then come back in plenty of time and have a look round. The food court (not in the main public area, but staff will tell you how to get there) is good and cheap, by the way. If you are interested in architecture, the Changi MRT station was designed by SOM and engineered by Arup, and has a remarkable long span, low-rise bridge running through it to allow walking access between terminals. The nearby Expo station (Norman Foster design) is also unusual.

Everyone has their own favourite eating places - I liked Little India (near Bugis MRT) - but it is easy to find cheap, good food almost anywhere. You can see plenty of interesting places from stations on the 'green' MRT line that links to Changi - next stop on the line after Bugis is City Hall, from which you can drop in on plenty of good camera shops like Cathay.

Some of the MRT is elevated, so you can get a good view. The green line goes underground at Kallang and pops up again at Redhill. Just don't take your durians on the MRT or the buses, that's all.

Good luck,
Helen

Ei, Schwetty, if you know lumpia and durian (especially the aroma of that heavenly fruit), you must have spent a lot of time in the Philippines.

Cheers,
